GRAD CHECK IN!!

[irishgrover]

Tell me about yo baby!

[tigger]

E is 19 weeks old and so funny.
She loves sticking her tongue out and blowing raspberries especially while drinking her bottle!
She figured out jumping in her jumperoo and now never wants to get out!
We start a music class this week that based in her new schedule is during nap time so we will see how that goes!!
No clue how to do a picture so you dont get one! Lol

[queenofcats]

Hai, guys!

I'm 16w6d and doing okay. I've developed some not so great symptoms, i.e I cried for 2 hours straight yesterday because I was mad at DH. I'm not a crier so it was a bit embarrassing. My temper has been crazy too. I have no patience for bullshit lately which makes working with the public awesome. I'm doing my best to control it. I feel like a crazy person.
Yesterday came with some scares. I got some extreme lower back pain twice. It would last for about 5 minutes and then subside. The nurse wasn't sure what it was, but the best guess right now is either kidney stones or sciatica so I'm just monitoring it. I'm nursing a cold too so needless to say I haven't been feeling that great in general.
I'm really excited though since our A/S is in less than 2 weeks and I can't wait to see our baby again. I'm always worried something is wrong so I look forward to doctors appointments.

As always I'm lurking and rooting for you all! Much love to all of you! I'm excited about some of the BFPs I've seen and I hope to see many more!

This shirt is my "I give no shits" shirt so it doesn't quite pronounce belly that much, but things seem to be growing in there!

[sthrncharmer]

Totally lurking when this came up.

Hi awesome ladies!
23w2d and we had our a/s a couple of weeks ago. Baby is growing wel but the placenta is 1.8cm instead of 2cm from the cervix. We goin in for a follow up u/s on feb 11 to see if it's growing up. If it doesn't then that puts me in the c/s boat. I'm no too happy about it but I'd rather have as little complications at delivery hands down. Also we found out its a GIRL!! H and I are beyond elated bc we both kind of just knew it was a girl. Now I'm trying to contain the need to buy all the frilly things.
On a sadder note my grandma passed away this past week so that's been difficult. Although I feel like she has never left with this little one on the way. I guess that's been my way of coping.

Fx for more BFPs and love to all of you.
My bump pic this week has me blending into the background, sorry.
Edit: nvm I fail at pics
Edit edit: fixed

Cute bump queenofcats! (How do you tag here?)

Hi all!

Avery is 5 weeks old today! She's growing so fast and gaining weight like its her job. She gained 10oz in the last six days! I'm crediting that to her being in a growth spurt - all she wants to do is eat and be held. She's becoming more alert these days and is working on her smiles. :-)

Lurking and rooting for you ladies as always!

[daisycat]

Hi GKU! (I need to get used to typing that)

My kid is 10 months old! I'm savouring my last week of leave since I go back Monday. I'm so so so sad about going back, but H is taking 6 weeks so C doesn't have to start daycare right away which is a nice buffer. I also managed to get him a space at a centre I used to work at and I still know a lot of the teachers there so I'm happy I won't have to leave him with complete strangers.

C figured out how to clap this week and he thinks it's pretty much the best thing ever. It's so cute. He also puts his arms up in the air when I say he's "soooo big!", and is super close to walking. He still hates sleep so going back to work and having to be a functioning human being should be interesting.

Anyway, here he is in the toboggan he got for Christmas, and looking at me like I'm a crazy person for suggesting he go the fuck to sleep.

[katydid2015]

34w3d over here and feeling quite large and tired and sore all the time. I'm still loving feeling baby boy move a lot but not so much loving when he decides to head bang my cervix repeatedly. I seriously can't believe how fast it seems this pregnancy is flying by. My baby shower is this weekend so I'm excited for that.

I'm glad to see all of the familiar faces over here and FX for more BFPs!

[queenofcats]

I'm so sorry for your loss, sthrncharmer. Congrats on your girl!

I got your tag, irishgrover!

[notelsie]

Hello loves! I'm so happy to see you all here!!

I am 12w6d today, and we had our NT scan last Tuesday! Baby is looking good, but was extremely uncooperative. All it wanted to do was sleep so it wasn't too pleased with the tech trying to wake it up to get measurements.

It was really awesome to see movement, little legs, little fingers, and its beautiful profile. We were even able to hear its sweet heartbeat again

The u/s shows we have an 80% chance for baby not to have downs, but we are waiting on the blood work to get a more accurate percentage.

We have our 2d reveal scheduled for the 20th (16w2d) so I'm really hoping things work out to find out the sex

I'm always rooting for you ladies


---

It is my pleasure to introduce y'all to my munchkin

[dabearsfanswife]

Woohoo! Grad day! I definitely forgot it was Grad day but since I'm a dirty lurker who lurks I was able to catch it on time this week.

Baby Bear is 16w6d (I literally just now noticed that queenofcats and I have the same due date!)

Baby world is boring so far. Hardly any belly and no kicks. A/S isn't until Feb. 12th. So really no updates on baby.

Bears world is awesome though! Remember a while back when that uninsured asshole totaled our car and the very next day I had total engine failure on my car? Well that asshole actually paid out! And as of 7pm last night I am the new owner of a 2007 Chevy HHR, which is the nicest car I've ever owned. AND we still have enough money to replace Mr.DaBears car!

AAANNND! Mr. DaBears got a sweet new job IN HIS CAREER FIELD and I got a sick promotion at my job. I'm seriously drowning in good luck right now.

Hopefully that luck rubs off on some of you BABs and I'll see more BFPs! Always rooting for you!

[southernpeach89]

Hey everyone! I'm 6 weeks today and symptoms are about the same as they were last week with an increase in bloat x 1000. My pants are super tight and my boobs hurt like hell. Besides that I'm feeling great and I'm glad I haven't had any nausea yet.

I had my third beta draw was last Thursday and my levels are looking good. My OB is putting me on prometrium to increase my progesterone levels though. My progesterone levels are within a normal range but they have decreased since my first beta so she just wants to take precaution.

Miss you guys and always crossing my fingers for all of you!

[sister13]

Hey southernpeach89! I think I probably missed your BFP in the hustle and the bustle of the Bump-pocolypse! Congrats, I'm so happy for you!

[chad5285]

Hi guise!

6w 5d today and I have my first u/s this afternoon. Laughing at what I thought was morning sickness last week compared to the mess I've been since Sunday. How it's possible to be starving and gagging at the same time is something I'll never understand. Other than nausea I still have a lot of energy and I'm feeling good! Hoping everything works out at my appointment and we get to see Little Squish today.

Always lurking (like literally, always lurking) and I have my fingers crossed for y'all!!

[southernpeach89]

sister13 Thank you! I think the craziness happened the same week of my BFP and we switched over here the following week. It's nice not having to deal with all the crazy ladies on the BMB on TB though. It's a lot nicer over here!

[scrappylika]

Hai GKU

A is now 6 weeks! She is doing great, weighing in at 10lbs12oz at her last doctors appointment. We are working on getting her to know the difference between night and day to hopefully help with longer stretches throughout the night. I go back to work Thursday & I'm not looking forward to it. I'm going to miss cuddling & watching trashy TV all day! DH had a change of jobs and now we ended up needing daycare because of his hours changing. We've interviewed some home daycare places but I'm so scared to leave her with a stranger!!

FX for more BFPs!!

[dorothyzbornak97]

Hello, friends!

Alex will be 17 weeks on Friday and he's doing great. He's almost outgrown a lot of his three-month clothes, which is crazy to me. We're also in the middle of developmental leap/growth spurt hell, which means sleep is not really happening and he's prone to losing his shit. But, it's worth it because I can already see some of the new abilities he has, and he's growing more interactive by the day. It's a lot of fun to see!

Lots of love to all my pals over here, and you may see me around more, as I'm thinking about jumping back in to play over here again. I'm not TTC, but I do have knowledge and gifs to share!

[TrickyJedi]

Howdy!!!! I'm 5 weeks 1 day today! I had my first Dr. appointment last Friday. There is a little debate about my due date, I say 9/28 and the Dr. says 9/6, so we are having a dating u/s done next Tuesday. Things are going great with my major symptom just being tired all the time.
We did go to Baby's first concert, Garth Brooks, this weekend. Mr. Jedi is being very protective and made sure people kept a safe distance from me the whole time.

[andtheheartbreakers]

Hey GKU!!

I'm 6 weeks 5 days today and the MS hit me like a brick this past weekend. It's insane to be SO hungry, but SO nauseous at the same time. I also puked for the first time yesterday! But happy note, I scarfed down a large McDonald's fries today and now I feel great. Other than that I have sore boobs, bloat, not sleeping, and nasal congestion which I can take nothing for so that's fun. I got a prescription for diclectin today though so I'm hoping that helps!

Our first ultrasound is a week from today so I'm probably not going to sleep for the next week. I just want to see that heartbeat so I can relax!

And as a Tuesday confession, I lurk GKU all the time and squeal when I see BFPs.

[snakefisherbub]

Hi! I am apparently 6w5d! Not much to update as I don't have my first appointment till next Tuesday. Symptoms have been mild and it kinda worries me but I'm savoring it while I can. I hope that things start to feel more real after my appointment and I can just enjoy everything.

I still like to hang around here and give some type of feels to posts and I'm always on the look out for more BFPs! Love you guys!

[amylee545]

Heyyyy GKU! So happy to see so many of you over here late post today, since Ive been trying to dig myself out of the 3 feet of snow we got.

So sorry for your loss sthrncharmer. It sucks losing a grandparent. I'm glad you're finding some peace within your LO tho!

I'm 25w1d.... Holy shit I can't believe that. I can't remember if I updated after our a/s but we found out we're having a sweet baby girl. We finally decided on a name (Natalie Kristina... Middle name being after my MIL). BH have started within the last couple weeks. Those are fun.

She's an active LO too.... Kicks and punches and twirks and head butts me all day long. I really wish I had a see-through belly so I could see WTF she's actually doing sometimes. It's still cute and fun tho, since she's still small. Hopefully her kicks won't be as hard when she gets bigger, but I'm not counting on that. Next apt is next week, when I get to do my glucose test! Praying hard that I pass, since my sweet tooth has been out of CONTROLLLL.

And here's the bump:



Always rooting for you ladies!!!

[packerfan4life]

Hai!! It's Tuesday and I remembered. L is 4 months old now (how did that happen??). We had her appointment last week and she's a little peanut weighing in at 12 lbs 9 oz and almost 24" long. She's making lots of noises, smiling all the time, putting everything in her mouth, and grabbing at things. She also started reaching and grabbing at my face this week which is so adorable. She still hates being put down unless you're playing with her and giving her 100% of your attention and sleep is hit or miss. But I swear I grow more in love everyday.

Always rooting you ladies on!

[MauiBliss]

Hello!!!!!!

32+4 today! I flew back for my shower this past weekend and that was a lot of fun! I am not super uncomfortable but I think I am glad I don't have any more flights planned for the rest of this pregnancy. We're just plugging away over here and counting down the days!!! I love seeing so many of the old regs over here and I am lurking and hoping for more BFPs!

[elbug]

Hey hey hey!

J is 6 months old. Time is flying! He loves boobs, food, farting and talking all night long. He has allergies and we've been seeing an allergist but I just can't quite control them so he's still in a swaddle to prevent him from scratching. This kid might be in a swaddle until he's married. Oh well, if that's our biggest hurdle I'll take it

queenofcats I love that cute baby bump!!
packerfan4life isn't it so sweet when they reach up for your face, I melt when J does that

Can I just say that you are the most adorbs pregnant person ever? Such a cute bump!

[estakis]

Hey guise! This is my first grad check-in! I'm not even 5 weeks yet. I have my first doctor appointment 1 week from today. Time just seems to be crawling. I don't think my first ultrasound will be done until 8-10 weeks. I've been lucky to not have too many symptoms at the moment, just sore bewbs and fatigue. I'm always rooting for you guys, and doing my fair share of lurking!

Oh wow thank you!!! You just seriously made my day

[robi1]

DD and I letting our nerd show. 32 weeks/18 months. Getting so excited for this little one to get here. It will be hard to wait patiently the next 8 weeks or so! 

[mander82]

Late to the party!
Little Gio is 2 months now! He was 24.5" and 12# 11 oz at his 2 month appt.
We battled colic, reflux, a slight case of torticollis, and we are still dealing with cradle cap. All in all though, he is growing like a bad weed and has a very healthy appetite! We fall more in love with this little man every day! He is starting to coo and smile more and more each day.

I don't have much time for lurking between work, LO, and trying to be active to shed my pregnancy pounds!
Hoping you guys keep cranking out the BFP's!!

[icaughtfire]

Cute kid you got there, mander82!
